I'm sitting here suffocating in calendars and planners. It's not a bad way to die, actually. Today is New Years Day and I'm a little hung over from too much champagne last night, but before I went to bed I remembered to delete from my phone: Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. I also deleted The New … Continue reading Digital De-Clutter Day 1

The Doyen of the Detox
G posted some pictures on Facebook today. Pictures of dirt. Pictures of the ground. Pictures of people not wearing coats. I don't remember that. I looked in the mirror today and let's just say, I'm not a "winter." My skin is the color of a codfish.. The bags under my eyes could hold my wallet, phone, … Continue reading The Doyen of the Detox
Fire Hose vs. Lawn Sprinkler
I have decided to do another cleanse. Same thing as last January (if you're interested I wrote about it ad nauseam in the January 2010 archives.) Now that I'm an old hand at this, it doesn't have the same charge and excitement of last year. I know the ropes. I know I can do it. … Continue reading Fire Hose vs. Lawn Sprinkler
The End Of The Cleanse
It's officially over. The Cleanse, that is. And I made it all the way through. 21 whole days. Here's how it ended. On Saturday night, after a liquid (Serious Green Juice) breakfast, and a liquid (Cream of Cauliflower soup) lunch, G and I decided to eat a (chewy) dinner out, and maybe have (gasp!) a … Continue reading The End Of The Cleanse
Cleanse: Day 17
So, it's day 17 of my cleanse. Here is a list of what is going to stay: "Serious" green juice for breakfast. It may not be the "only" thing I eat for breakfast the way it is now, but it's going to be a major player. The big mid-day meal. This is so working for … Continue reading Cleanse: Day 17
Cleanse: Day 6
The Cleanse is taking a toll on me today. I don't know if it's also the weather and its gloominess that's contributing to my extreme ennui, but I was definitely running at very low RPMs today. I resorted to my SAD light this morning and left it on for the entirety of my writing time, … Continue reading Cleanse: Day 6
Cleanse: Day 3
Still feeling all sattvic and sweet. But smoothies are a cold thing to eat at night in this weather, which is why most people do these detoxes in the spring. But I need to do it when I'm motivated to do it, when I can be quiet and turn inward, when I can rest and … Continue reading Cleanse: Day 3
Cleanse: Day 2
Went to Ithaca on Saturday to shop for the Cleanse. I decided not to wait till February as I had originally planned, because after almost a week without sugar, caffeine and alcohol I felt more than ready. Started shopping for all the permitted foods at Wegmans and finished at Green Star. Bought every vegetable in … Continue reading Cleanse: Day 2
